Key Differences

Price Comparison

The pricing of Autel’s diagnostic scanners clearly reflects their feature set and positioning. The Autel MaxiCheck MX900 is the most affordable model at $459, making it an excellent entry-level choice. Next comes the MaxiCheck MX900BT at $589, which adds Bluetooth VCI capability.

The MaxiPRO MP900 is priced higher at $699, reflecting its support for advanced functions such as online coding and hidden feature access. At the top of the range is the MaxiPRO MP900TS, which costs $1059. It includes TPMS capabilities in addition to all MP900 features, making it the most fully featured option in the lineup.

Hardware Differences

All four models — MX900, MK900BT, MP900, and MP900TS — share the same hardware platform, which includes:

• 8-inch screen with a 1280×800 resolution
• 4GB RAM + 64GB ROM
• Android 11 operating system
• 7700mAh battery
• Dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4 & 5 GHz)
• 8MP rear camera

The MX900, MK900BT, MP900, and MP900TS also have powerful hardware

The only hardware difference lies in the VCI connection type:

• MX900 and MP900 use a main cable (wired connection)
• MK900BT and MP900TS use the wireless VCI V150 module

This makes MK900BT and MP900TS more flexible for technicians who prefer wireless operation during diagnostics.

Software Capabilities

Software is where these devices significantly diverge:

• MX900 offers basic functions like code reading, live data, and service resets.
• MK900BT adds features like active tests and Auto VIN, plus better expandability.
• MP900 takes a leap forward, supporting BMW, Porsche, and VW online coding, as well as access to hidden features for brands like BMW, VW, Audi, Skoda, and Seat. It also includes LD guidance for complex diagnostics.
• MP900TS includes everything from MP900, plus TPMS functionality, making it ideal for tire shops and workshops dealing with sensor programming and activation.

The MP900TS is the only model supporting TPMS service, including MX sensor activation and programming, making it the most comprehensive solution in the lineup.

The Autel MP900TS is an advanced TPMS expert which can diagnose TPMS System and Read/Clear Codes

Expandability & Add-Ons

If you're looking for tool expandability, consider:

• MK900BT and MP900TS support the MV105/MV108S endoscope and BT506 battery tester, which allow visual inspection in tight spaces and battery health evaluation — ideal for more thorough diagnostics.
• MK900 and MP900 do not support these add-ons, limiting their scope in that regard.

Conclusion: Which Autel Tablet Should You Choose?

If you're looking for a budget-friendly scanner for general maintenance tasks like code reading, live data, and basic service resets, the Autel MaxiCOM MK900 or MK900BT (with Bluetooth) is a smart choice.

If you need a powerful diagnostic tool with advanced features like online coding, hidden feature activation, TPMS, and support for premium vehicles, the Autel MaxiPRO MP900 or MP900TS is highly recommended.

• Choose MP900 for high-level diagnostics without TPMS.
• Choose MP900TS if you want the most complete solution with all features unlocked.
